Love the burger but hate using a BBQ? Sandi Richard shows us how to craft a drool-worthy BBQ-quality burger using your own oven.

Oven roasted burgers in 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/3 cup salt

2 lbs (900 g) extra lean ground beef

1 pot Knorr Homestyle Stock beef

1 Tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce

Fresh ground pepper

1/2 of an onion (optional)

2 Tbsp bacon bits (optional)

1/4 cup grated cheddar (optional)

6 buns

Method:

Preheat oven to 475 F (220 C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread salt over foil, then place a cooling rack over top. (The salt sops up the oil that drizzles from the burgers. You don’t end up with heavy smoke from the high temperature.)

Break up Knorr Homestyle Stock with a fork in a medium size mixing bowl. Add beef, Worcestershire and pepper. Mix until well combined. (I just use my hands.) Loosely form 6 burgers and place on cooling rack. Place pan in centre of preheated oven. Set timer for 15 minutes.

Optional: Slice onion into round discs. When timer rings, place an onion disk on each burger and top with a few bacon bits. Return to oven and reset timer for 5 minutes. When timer rings again, top with cheese, turn oven off, but leave burgers in. Toss buns into oven on lower rack for 2 minutes.

By the time you take out your condiments, the buns will be warm and the cheese will have melted. YUM!

Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Scrape inside of vanilla bean into batter; discard pod. Add flour and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Blend in rum. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.

Bake 40 min. or until centre is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours.

Beat cream and remaining sugar in small bowl with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Use to garnish cheesecake. Sprinkle with remaining nutmeg.

Indirect grilling: For an outdoor meal, light one side of barbecue, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat barbecue to 400ºF. Coat chicken as directed; place on foil-covered baking sheet. Place baking sheet on barbecue grate over unlit area. Grill 35 to 40 min. or until chicken is done (170ºF), monitoring for consistent grill temperature.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon.

Evenly divide the fruit mixture between the two ramekins and cover with the oat topping. Place into toaster oven to bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Serve with Vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
